Has anyone else ever decided...?

Yes, in a way. I don't want ot die of old age, but I'd rather feel only an instant of pain, then be taken home, if you know what i mean. I want to die for something important. I see life as a story. I don't want to be worrying about stupid or selfish things. I imagine myself stepping back after i die and saying, yes, yes, that was indeed a well-lived life or no, no, what was i thinking all those years, i missed my chance! Strange, but true. I like yours very much. Just be sure that there's nothing left to live for on this earth before you carry out your plan. (Btw, check out the movie Second Hand Lions. I think you'll like it.)
